Police Beating - F16 Breakaway

How many cops does it take to take down a photojournalist:

Ummm. Not a lot. 10 to grab you, 2 to beat off others looking to help.

Thanks for the photo.

We are one.

Who is the cop in the first pic with his mouth open? Anyone get his badge number?

Just looks like a bunch of punks looking for trouble. Ah, the follies of youth.

Hey, a lot of things on Earth make less sense than the "beating" you imagined you went through. Think about it. We live in a country where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest. Yoko Ono is standing right next to him. Not one fucking bullet! Explain that to me, kight! Explain that to me!

Are you asking why there were no bullets on Sunday?

I think the cops showed remarkable restraint. Unfortunately. I would have liked to see a bit more blood coming from the orafices of these "protesters". If the cops did "lose control" I don't blame them one bit, considering there's a mob looking to destroy things that don't belong to them and which they have no right to touch.

"Political prisoners" my ass. Just self-centered idiots with nothing going for them. Indymedia is one massive fucking joke, great for lots of laughs.

Thanks for your insightful argument. It's nice to see intelligent debate taking place.

Would someone please help me take my head out of my fat ass?

Can't you tell I'm the world's biggest idiot? I plagiarize Dennis Leary!!! You don't expect me to do my own thinking, do you? If it weren't for Rush Limbaugh, I wouldn't have ANYTHING to say!

that police action was uncalled for. that dude needs some serious anger management classes or something. and i dont know. charged with assault.

otoh if you charged everyone who committed violence it is beginning to look like youd have dozens of people in jail both protestors and police

Jim, are you really trying to illicit violence from marcher/rioters?
My god, man! You are a true heathen. Why don’t you step outside and get some fresh air before you come across as a conspirator.

You can clearly see someone getting hit in a few of the photos. Keep typing from your Safety Seat at Home Jim. If you were at the front lines maybe that baton would knock some sense into you. Time to hit the ejector seat from your ergonomic chair and go make a difference yourself instead of picking apart those who are doing it.

That cop is young. He is in his twenties. You leftist blind sons of bitches like to group everyone together. That police officer has risked his life for complete strangers and has been awarded several medals for bravery. What you neglected to mention was that he had struck from behind by a protester(which was a picture conveniently omitted). I'm proud to know him.
I would put my e-mail address, but I don't wish to be flooded by hate mail from all you so called "peace lovers".

Thanks, Joe Friday, for your comment.

A second of six Yemeni-American men accused of training at an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan months before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks pleaded guilty Monday to charges he supported al Qaeda.

Shafal Mosed, 24, entered the plea to a charge of knowingly and unlawfully providing and attempting to provide material resources to a foreign terrorist organization, namely al Qaeda.

He agreed to cooperate with investigators.

Authorities indicated they would seek an eight-year prison term. Mosed was ordered held until sentencing, scheduled for July 16.

In January, co-defendant Faysal Galab reached a deal with the government in which he agreed to testify against the other five men. Since then, negotiations have been underway involving all of the others, defense and prosecuting attorneys have said.

Mosed, of suburban Lackawanna, a U.S.-born former college student who worked as a telemarketer, acknowledged that he bought a uniform and trained in the use of guns and a grenade launcher at al-Farooq training camp near Kandahar and performed guard duty while there from April to June 2001.

He also admitted hearing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden speak to “about 50 men who were on a suicide mission.”

The married father of one admitted that he knew before he went to Afghanistan that the trip was illegal and that bin Laden was associated with the camp.

The six men, all American citizens of Yemeni descent, were arrested in September and charged with violating a 1996 law that prohibits giving money, weapons or other support to foreign terrorist organizations.

Prosecutors have said the men were awaiting orders from bin Laden's group to carry out an attack in the United States but have acknowledged there was no evidence they posed an imminent threat.

The alleged leader of the cell, Yemeni-American Kamal Derwish, was believed killed in a CIA air strike on Nov. 3 in Yemen, U.S. officials have said.

In addition to Mosed and Galab, the other suspects are Sahim Alwan, 30, Yahya Goba, 25, Yasein Taher, 25, and Mukhtar al-Bakri, 22.

For all of you who are complaining about too many cop beatings... there is a simple solution.
Hire less cops. Next time a ballot proposal comes around for raising more taxes to hire more police, just say "NO".
In fact, next time a ballot proposal comes around for raising more taxes, just say "NO".

Way to go. Whenever we conservative trolls don't have anything intelligent to say, we can always resort to juvenile name-calling. Great job!
